is dealer liable for fixing my car's water leak?

My four year old Peugeot 107 - bought five months ago - is wet through. The boot carpet is soaked and so are the back seats. There is a water mark on the roof lining at rear nearside.

Is the dealer - or manufacturer - responsible for putting this right or is it down to me?

A 'supplier' (dealer) is liable for any faults that could have been present or developing on the date of sale for 6 months from the date of sale.
